yup, looks like i have a slightly bent rear axle which i was getting checked out and he mumbled something bout me having a rear torque bar.

at the time i was more worried bout the back axle but was just wondering what he was one about as i never put on a anti-roll and i know the fella i bought it off didnt, so i was just a bit surprised.

there is a bar inside the axle on sri/gsi, but its pap, i addeed a 'proper' rear arb and it made a hell of a difference, still got the std one fitted aswell, but might remove it at some point..

All Corsa's got rear anti-roll bars, with differing thickness for rigidity. Only a few got the front, like the SRi's, GSi's and Sports. But the front are a pain in the ass. Really bad understeer IMO, and i blame it on the front roll bar

torque bar, anti roll bar, all the same thing. They both reduce roll through corners by firming up the floorpan. Corsa ones are designed to run through the rear beam, and are no where near as thick as those ones in the pictures
